a scraping servant, ruled by fear, told me whiskey works better than beer

About Me


I am classically trained in the art of being horrible at talking about myself. If you're curious, then I suppose you should ask. I enjoy red wine and talking philosophy with my roommate. I am equally inclined to play video games, shoot pool, read a book, play music, stare at the wall, fight with a dog, or avoid the overly religious with equal ease. i'm a spelling nazi with poor punctuation, grammar, and spelling abilities. I am a movie hound but i blew my wad on vhs and am now slowly getting up to speed with dvd. i have never "tanned" and am not inclined to. it is possible that i remember how to speak a little french, but i am not 100% sure. I don't know how to insert paragraph returns into sections like these, so I will insert a bunch of asterisks. like so: *********************************************************** i believe there is an inverse relationship between the amount of skin you show on your myspace profile and how interesting you are.

i believe that lists like this are presumptuous and narcissistic.

i believe that techno embodies everything i loathe about music these days: the glory in cyclic repetition is really just Hobbesian animals-as-machines life/death cycle fetishizing. there is no aspiration, nothing gloried or vilified, no position taken, no lesson learned or missed, no love nor hate...there's basically nothing to it beyond the endorphin rush of bouncing your head and tuning out. call it the audio soma.

i believe that if you understood any of the previous few sentences, then i want to talk to you.

i believe that i would not ever want to talk to anyone who actually said something as arrogant and asinine as i just did right there, so i forgive you for not talking to me.

i believe that boredom is eating me alive these days.

i believe that i rarely, if ever, meet interesting people and yet, paradoxically, i immediately become one of the most mundane and uninteresting people alive when around anyone else.

i believe in spelling.

i believe in the limbic system.

i believe that life is not a movie, and my soul aches because of it.

i somehow own over 1100 movies. that's something, isn't it?

i think this is pretty great, too: .. Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds
